The Born has always been one of our favourite small EVs and this useful package of mid-term updates will do its prospects no harm at all. Yes, in some ways this Born remains little more than a Volkswagen ID.3 in a track suit, but at the same time, it also offers something just a little different - and arguably more appealing. It's still not quite as different from an ID.3 as CUPRA thinks it is. But this car is more engaging to drive than its cousin - and to our eyes more engaging to look at too.
Do you really want to pay considerably more in this segment to get only slightly more space and fractionally more driving range? From an EV that almost certainly won't be as interesting at the wheel or look as good on your driveway? Such is the Born ultimatum. And we can understand if you found yourself tempted by it.
